What's fun it's that the N64 and Radiohead OK Computers were around in the same time period. This kind of union (and the whole Mario 64 soundfount movement that you created) is as if two, very distinct and heterogeneous, parts of nostalgia became self aware of each other, and blend together. I've found that this blend gives a new look on past eras Amazing work as always on4ward, thank you :)

Not to diminish anybody else's work but I think you've absolutely mastered the craft of these soundfont covers, so seeing you pump out full albums like this is a HUGE treat! The Paranoid Android intro alone is wonderful.

One more reason for me to wish we could’ve gotten a Metroid N64 game: we’d get a Radiohead song in its soundfont now. Pretty weird to pine for a hypothetical thing that could’ve existed if another hypothetical thing had existed.

Climbing Up the Walls in the Goldeneye sound font is so clever! It already kinda sounds like the pause music

I was getting tired of hearing the same 4-5 instruments used in these types of vids but still decided to watch this. Safe to say, I was wrong for this video, your use of these soundfounts is fucking incredible and varied and always exactly fitting for the song, it is actually very impressive. Personal fave is probably Exit Music here, never thought Banjo's sounds would fit so well lol.

The greatest part about this is the deliberate choice of instrument for each song like electioneearring, of course that would be best suited with the drums and guitars from Majora's mask. It's decisions like that to change the sound font for every track that make it so much better of a listening experience than somebody that just slapped a sound set into the same notes that were played in the original song. It makes the final product way better.

This is absolutely amazing. Can't believe Radiohead plagiarized you 25 years ago.

My precious dog Charlie passed away quietly in my arms on Tuesday, July 18th at 4:58pm while listening to this during "Lucky".

It’s weird, I listened to Ok Computer so many times that I kind of burned out on it, but hearing it this way is like rediscovering the album for the first time and it made me fall in love with it all over again.

It's impossible to make something like this without it being at least a little bit of a joke, but you make sure that behind the irony of using video game soundfonts from silly games that include banjos, panflutes, accordions, and other hokey instruments, it all sounds actually great. Occasionally adding the voice PCM samples from the games feels more like a wink and reminder of the irony rather than just part of a greater shitpost. I really enjoy your Radiohead covers, they're quite fun. Great work on this.

on4word does the best sm64 remakes, not many come remotely close

I usually hate this dumb stuff, but this one actually sounds great. Interesting, very well done, it sounds so good that it makes me want to go back to the original album after all these years.

Subterranean homesick alien was made for this soundfont. Such an ethereal, magical and strange song that it only compares to the types of songs you'd find listening to videogame music.

Exit music for a film is my favorite Radiohead song. You did it justice

Let Down is already my favorite track off of OK Computer but jesus hearing in in the Ocarina of Time soundfont changed something in my brain chemistry that'll never be unchanged. It really felt like I was listening to that song for the first time again. Excellent work on this

Phenomenal work. I absolutely adore this whole rendition of OKC. PLEASE, i, and many others would love to hear Kid A with the N64 Sound font.

For someone that was there when OK Computer came out, I feel like I'm hearing it again for the first time. Absolutely genius.

There is some real intention in the choices behind each of these songs. Great job on the composition.

I always thought Electioneering was a weaker track, but this version is fucking incredible.

There're tons of midi soundfont swaps here on YT, but on4word's are unmatcheable. It's the selection of instruments, small voice inserts, probably also arrangement differences that I can't really tell because I'm not a musician. I'm not that prone to nostalgia but I grew up with N64 games and OK Computer is one of my all-time favorite records, so these two combined really strike a deeply melancholic note for me.

This is the best soundfont project I've heard yet, will be enjoying this for a long time to come. You're too generous offering this for free, enjoyed it too much to not purchase on bandcamp. Banjoe Kazooie organ hitting in Exit Music gave me goosebumps. One idea, if you're open to them - Where Is My Mind in the Metroid Prime soundfont. Metroid Prime in general has such a fantastic soundscape EDIT: No soundfonts involved apparently, seems I know less about videogame scoring than I thought!
